Castelfranco Veneto, Medieval walled city in Province of Treviso, Italy
The town center features a square fortress with high defensive walls, deep moats, and watchtowers at each corner constructed of red bricks.
The municipality emerged in 1199 when Treviso built this defensive settlement against Paduan expansion, employing 500 masons and 1000 workers for construction.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta e San Liberale contains the masterwork Madonna with Saints by Renaissance painter Giorgione, created in 1504.
The railway station functions as a primary transportation hub where three major rail lines intersect, connecting Venice, Bassano del Grappa, and Vicenza.
The name translates to 'Free Castle' because its first inhabitants received tax exemptions to encourage settlement within the fortified walls.
